FEEDER SYSTEMS USDA has several feeder systems (e.g., GovTrip, IAS, payroll, lockboxes)

that send information to FMMI creating the documents to properly record revenue, expense and budgetary activity.

FMMI publishes shorthand codes (SHC) to the feeders are a set schedule.

Master Data Overview

Page 19: fmmi tips and tricks

MASTER DATAMaster Data is data in FMMI that Agencies will reference and use in order to execute business transactions in the system

FMMI Master Data Elements include: Application of Funds 6-8 characters

Budget Period 4 characters

Functional Area 16 characters

Fund 10 characters

Funds Center/Cost Center 10 characters

Funded Program/Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) 13-18 characters

Shorthand Code 27 characters

Commitment Item: Budget Object Code (BOC) / Revenue Source Code (RSC) 4 characters

10

Page 20: fmmi tips and tricks

WBS ELEMENTS

WBS – Expense Project Spending must occur on a Level 2 WBS element or higher.

WBS elements for expense projects can be mapped to multiple Cost Centers.

WBS – Reimbursable/Trust Fund Project There is a one-to-one relationship between a WBS Element

to a Fund, Cost Center, and Functional Area combination.

There is also a one-to-one relationship between a WBS and Budget Period to a Sales Order line.

12

Page 21: fmmi tips and tricks

WBS STRUCTURE

Level 1 WBS Element = WBS Project 10 Characters Example - AP.EX.ADRV Characters 1-3: A P . = Agency Identifier + a period (APHIS) Characters 4-6: E X . = Project Type/Agency Identifier + a period

(i.e., EX = Expense; RA = Reimbursable; TF = Trust Fund) Characters 7-10: ADRV = Project Activity (Admin Reserve)

Level 2 WBS Element Characters 11-13: Agency Defined Example – AP.EX.ADRV.CR Characters 11-13: . C R = Agency Defined (Civil Rights and Compliance)

12

Page 22: fmmi tips and tricks

WBS STRUCTURE -CONTINUED

Level 3 WBS Element Characters 14-18: Agency Defined

Example – AP.EX.ADRV.CR.OUT1

Positions 14-18: . O U T 1 = Agency Defined (Thurgood Marshall College Fund)

Note: APHIS currently only goes to a Level 3 WBS Elements

Page 23: fmmi tips and tricks

SHORTHAND CODE OVERVIEW

The Shorthand Code (SHC) is a way to shorten the length of the accounting information that feeds into FMMI. The Shorthand Code contains 27 agency defined characters and is used by feeder systems ONLY.

The SHC will not be used for direct entry into FMMI. Corporate feeder systems include WebTA, GovTrip, TRVL,

Smartpay2, WEX, WebTA, PACS, IAS, and lockbox collections. Agency feeder systems include User Fee billing systems. Relationships between SHC to full FMMI accounting is 1:1. Not all SHC’s will have an associated WBS Element. For SHC’s not

using a WBS Element, “PUBLICUSDA” will be used as the filler, for codes that only go to Level 2 will be filled with “USDA”

If a WBS Element is used, it must be at least a Level 2 WBS Element or higher.

12

Page 24: fmmi tips and tricks

SHORTHAND CODE LAYOUT Shorthand Code Format:

Budget Period (2) + Cost Center (8) + Functional Area (7) + WBS Level 2 (6) + WBS Level 3 (4)

Example: 55WSWR0808REIMBURRX08731234 Budget Period: 1515 Cost Center: APWSWR0808 Functional Area: AP00AGREIMBUR000 WBS Level 2: AP.RA.RX08.73 (If no WBS fill with

“PUBLICUSDA”) WBS Level 3: AP.RA.RX08.73.1234 (If only a WBS Level

2, fill with “USDA”)12

Page 25: fmmi tips and tricks

COMMITMENT ITEMSCommitment items, also known as budget object classification codes (BOCC) and/or revenue source codes (RSC) are used by the Federal Government to record its financial transactions according to the nature of the services provided or received when obligations are first incurred.

Examples of BOCs 1100 – Personnel Compensation 2570 – Miscellaneous Services 4200 – Insurance Claims and Indemnities

Examples of RSCs 0100 – Operating Income 0200 – Revenue from services provided – exchanged (i.e., sales orders) 0202 – Revenue – Anticipated (i.e., AQI User Fees) 0203 – Commercial Activity – Exception (i.e., VS/PPQ User Fees)

The USDA, Budget Object Classification Codes (BOC) is posted to the web at https://cod.nfc.usda.gov/Documents/docs/boc.pdf12

Page 27: fmmi tips and tricks

SHORTHAND CODE (SHC) REQUESTS

Completion of the Accounting Code Request Form is required to establish a new SHC and reimbursable WBS’ in FMMI. Requests will be returned if any portion of the data is missing or incorrect.

When completing the form, be thoughtful of the feeder systems and only select the items were the code should be used. There are seven USDA corporate systems that interface are used daily by programs.

Page 28: fmmi tips and tricks

WBS REQUESTS

Programs are allowed to request WBS Projects and Elements for reimbursable (AP.RA.xxxx) and trust fund (AP.TF.xxxx) purposes.

Requests to establish a new Expense (AP.EX.xxxx) WBS Project and Element must be submitted to PPD-BPAS for approval, they will submit the request to APHIS-Master Data Requests to be added to FMMI

All requests must be submitted on the WBS tab on the Accounting Code Request Form.

40

Page 29: fmmi tips and tricks

ACCOUNTING REQUEST FORM The Accounting Code Request Form is required to set up SHCs and WBS’.

The form is Excel and contains four tabs. Instructions - provides guidance for completing the rest of the form

SHC – must be completed to have a SHC created

WBS – must be completed to create a new WBS

GovTrip ETS Org – List of know ETS Orgs that can be used on the SHC tab

40

Page 30: fmmi tips and tricks

SHORTHAND CODE (SHC) TAB

SHC tab – multiple codes can be requested on one sheet.

ETS Org – last seven characters of the GovTrip ETS Org SHC Description – Should always be upper case and cannot contain

special characters (i.e., commas, quotes, dashes, etc.) FMMI SHC – this field is a formula that will populate as the rest of the

FMMI elements are completed (i.e., budget period, fund, cost center, WBS, functional area)

Feeder Systems - MASC is the only feeder system that must be marked to create a SHC. The others are optional and should be carefully considered before marking.

Page 31: fmmi tips and tricks

WBS TAB WBS tab – multiple codes can be requested on one sheet, brief

instructions are included on the tab.

Project Definition – the WBS level 1, first 10 characters of the WBS (i.e., AP.RA.RX12)

Level – indicate the level of the newly requested WBS (i.e., 1, 2, 3)

WBS Element – The new WBS element that is being created.

Description - special characters are not allowed (i.e., commas, quotes, dashes, etc.)

NOTE: If you are creating a reimbursable or trust WBS, the SHC must be created at the same time. The Fund, Cost Center and Functional Area are needed to create the WBS.

31

Page 32: fmmi tips and tricks

REQUEST SUBMISSIONS Each program has identified individuals that are

authorized to request new SHCs and WBS’.

The following are the current WS names:Nakia Anderson, HQ

Amanda Bennett, ER

Shannon Fennell, ER

Julie Fierstine, NWRC

Charleane Gaddie, HQ

Stephanie Kozar, NWRC

Pam Niles-Holmes, ER Cory Oglesby, WR Timothy Shead,

WRTammy Wagner, NWRC Mary Wiggett, WR

Page 33: fmmi tips and tricks

REQUEST SUBMISSIONS (CONT.)

Requests are emailed to APHIS-Master Data Requests ([email protected])

A unique description on the email subject line is recommended if locating the request at a later date; example: 55WSWR0808WLDMGMTWLSVGE1234

Reimbursable agreement shorthand codes (SHC) are not automatically rolled from year to year. FMMI requires that a sales order (SO) be created in order to establish budget for the agreement. We have determined that we cannot set up a reimbursable SHC unless we have documentation that a new agreement has been signed.

40

Page 34: fmmi tips and tricks

REIMBURSABLE SALES ORDER –ACCOUNTING CODE REQUEST

We have determined that we cannot set up a reimbursable SHC unless we have documentation that a new agreement has been signed. To facilitate the establishment of the SO, WBS and SHC; the following process has been put in place.

A single email should be submitted to both the APHIS-Master Data Requests ([email protected]) and MRP Billings Requests ([email protected]) addresses.

The email must contain all required documents for both areas. Copy of the signed agreement

APHIS Sales Order Request Form

Accounting Code Request Form

To eliminate duplicate effort, APHIS Master Data Requests will not reject requests containing the above information as long as an approved accounting code requester is cc’d on the email.

Page 35: fmmi tips and tricks

Maintaining Accounting Codes

Page 36: fmmi tips and tricks

UPDATING FEEDER SYSTEMS

If a shorthand code is not working in a feeder system (i.e., WebTA, GovTrip, IAS), it is either because the feeder was not included on the request or something unknown happened and the code is no longer working. You should verify that the SHC has been created in FMMI for the specific feeder.

To update/reset a feeder system for a SHC, an authorized accounting code requester must send an email to APHIS-Master Data Requests ([email protected]) providing the following:

Shorthand Code: 55WSWR0808WLDMGMTWLSVGE1234

System to be added or reset: SmartPay2/WEX WebTA IAS GovTrip – provide the 7 character ETS Org

52

Page 37: fmmi tips and tricks

DEACTIVATING OLD SHCS The National Finance Center (NFC) constantly request that agencies close

inactive codes to reduce the amount of unnecessary data in the being held by the feeder systems (i.e., WebTA, SmartPay2, WEX, GovTrip).

Beginning the second quarter each year, programs should be reviewing their no-year SHCs. At a minimum, SHCs more than three years old should be reviewed (i.e., 12XX and prior). Codes that are more than five years old will be automatically deactivated by the FAs unless notified otherwise by the programs.

To deactivate SHCs a program accounting code requester should provide a list of the codes. The list should only contain the SHCs to be deactivated with no reference to any feeder systems. The lists should be submitted to APHIS-Master Data Requests ([email protected]).

Note: SHCs will remain active for the MASC feeder for one year to allow payroll or other documents to process through.135

Page 38: fmmi tips and tricks

CLOSING WBS ELEMENTS

Programs should deactivate reimbursable/trust WBS’ when they are no longer needed. Programs must be sure there are no outstanding documents that will be using the WBS. Once it has been closed no further activity can take place.

To close a WBS the program an accounting code requester must send an email to APHIS-Master Data Requests ([email protected]) stating that the code will no longer be needed and the accounts (SOs) have been fully reconciled.

Page 40: fmmi tips and tricks

FMMI G/L STRUCTURE

The FMMI General Ledger follows the structure mandated by the United States Standard General Ledger (USSGL).

The USSGL provides a uniform Chart of Accounts and technical guidance for standardizing federal accounting

The USSGL contains five major sections: Chart of Accounts

Accounting Descriptions

Page 42: fmmi tips and tricks

FMMI G/L ACCOUNT STRUCTURE

FMMI uses the four-digit USSGL accounting numbering system. FMMI also captures a lower level of detail by expanding the standard numbering system by sub-account and BOC/RSC.

This expanded numbering system allows subsidiary accounts to be created for USSGL accounts. These accounts roll up to the 4-digit USSGL accounts.

SALES ORDER INTRODUCTION

Sales Order - A document that is generated by the seller to authorize the sale of products or services on receipt of the customer’s order.

Purpose: Businesses use SOs as a way to forecast or track sales. Can be used to track specifics of the agreement (dates,

description, etc.) Used in the APHIS OH and RRB processes

Not Used for: Capturing costs (WBS Elements do that) Capturing collections (Customers and Bills do that) Purchasing (Purchase Orders do that, and are used with

Vendors)14

RESOURCE RELATED BILLING OVERVIEW

Resource Related Billing (RRB) is a standard SAP term used for billing Sales Orders.

RRB runs off of one table in the background of FMMI, which is GL based. OCFO maintains this table for all of USDA.

RRB captures all billable expenses. Non billable expenses include things like depreciation expense and accruals.

IPAC OVERVIEW

IPAC is a Treasury process/system used to move funds between federal agencies without processing manual payments or collections.

IPAC uses the Agency Location Code (ALC) through Treasury as we would use our bank account information to transfer funds to or from our bank account.

53

Page 93: fmmi tips and tricks

IPAC OVERVIEW

NFC processes all IPAC transactions for the USDA, both intra-agency (i.e. USDA = INTR = NFC Transfers Funds) and interagency (i.e. non-USDA = RONA = Treasury Transfers Funds) into FMMI.

IPAC Collections = Sales Orders IPAC Payments = Purchase Orders

IPAC Document Reference Number (DRN) - A unique identification number that is automatically assigned to each interagency transaction entered into the IPAC System.

Page 96: fmmi tips and tricks

WS SO OVERHEAD (OH)SO OH is a percentage of eligible expenses.

Eligible expenses for OH include all billable expenses, less OH. (RRB includes all eligible expenses including Overhead.)

FMMI SO OH CalculationTotal Eligible OH Expenses for Period

x OH Rate

= Overhead Charged on Account for Period

59

Page 97: fmmi tips and tricks

WS SO OH CONTINUEDWS SO OH RatesWS SO Overhead percentages range from 0% to 27.15%.

0% OH = all OH was waived in the agreement (this is rare and requires Administrator (or designee) approval).

5.15% = WS waived their OH in this agreement as this amount is solely for MRPBS.

16.15% = regular OH is included in this agreement. 27.15% = regular OH plus pooled job costs are included

in this agreement.

Percentages in between any of the above signify some range of variation from the above listed standards.

59

Page 98: fmmi tips and tricks

WS SO OH CONTINUEDDirect vs Indirect Costs Direct costs are those that are directly attributable to a project

in full expense amount (i.e. program payroll, project supplies, etc.).

Indirect costs are those that are not directly attributable to a project in full expense amount (i.e. Admin support, equipment repairs, etc.).

Pooled Job Costs (PJC) Pooled job costs include any item of expense that may be

directly identified with a particular project or program, and is distributed across all identifiable projects or programs to which it pertains (i.e. spreads truck cost to multiple projects).

*Note: All portions of the FMMI WS SO OH rate are often referred to as just OH or Indirect Costs, but may also contain PJCs.

59

Page 99: fmmi tips and tricks

WS OH RECONCILIATION (i.e. Eligible Expenses)

Instructions

STEP 1: To obtain the total eligible OH expenses for the period, run the LIACR Report for the appropriate WBS Element Posting Date Range Choose layout /WS OH RECON

STEP 2: Filter to the appropriate BP, if needed

STEP 3: Multiply this total by the OH Rate on the account

STEP 4: This total should equal the total OH charged on the account for the period

60

Page 100: fmmi tips and tricks

WS OH CHARGEDInstructions

STEP 1: To obtain the total OH charged for the period, run the LIACR Report for the appropriate: WBS Element Cost Element 6100980000 (OH GL) Posting Date Range Choose layout /WS OH CHRGD

STEP 2: Filter to the appropriate BP, if needed

STEP 3: This total should equal the total OH charged on the account for the period

*NOTE: OH charges show as CT doc types in FMMI. 61

Page 101: fmmi tips and tricks

WS OH SPLITInstructions

STEP 1: To obtain the OH split for the period, run the LIACR Report as follows: AP.RA.* and AP.WS.* Cost Element 6100980000 (OH GL) Posting Date Range Choose layout /WS OH SPLIT

STEP 2: Filter to the appropriate BP, if needed

STEP 3: Review the results for the appropriate WBS element

STEP 4: This should show the OH split for the account for the period

*NOTE: If you know all of your needed WBS elements, it would be best to limit the report to just those when running, or to use the wildcard trick (see FMMI Tips and Tricks) to lessen the results. 62

Page 102: fmmi tips and tricks

WS OH SPLITOH Sender/Receiver TableThere is an OH Sender/Receiver Table in FMMI which defines the OH split based on Fund/Cost Centers, the OH Costing Sheet, and the OH Key.

COLLECTIONS OVERVIEW

Approx. 240,000 payments to USDA APHIS each year (20,000 per month).

APHIS also posts collections for 4 other USDA Agencies.

We use semi-automated processes (i.e. lockboxes).

APHIS Collections has 2 FTE staff members, Kate Sopcyk and Justin Rhea.

LOCKBOXES

What is a Lockbox?

A service offered by banks to companies in which the company receives payments by mail (check or money order) to a post office box and the bank picks up the payments, deposits them into the company's account, and notifies the company of the deposits.

PROCESSING

Many of the CHECKS sent to the lockbox in St. Louis, MO are applied to the account designated by remittance.

In Minneapolis, we pull reports to see what Treasury says they have received for APHIS, which we can then post.

On average $154,000 comes through the General lockbox a day, that is for checks/money orders only.

The APHIS ULO process is the process APHIS uses to manage and report on unliquidated obligations.

Unliquidated obligations over 12 months of no activity require justification.

Obligations do affect budget availability. It is important to clean these up as soon as reasonably possible.

Anyone that has responsibility for the ULO review and certification should have access to the U Drive for additional ULO information and instructions.

For U Drive Access or Questions/Concerns, contact Kraig Peterson, the APHIS ULO lead.
